Daily life of black skin cub's princess

Xu Zixiu was also very surprised when he saw Wu Xun and Lu Xun: "Why are you?"

"Have you met before?" Ning Bo asked curiously.

"I met him and two other scholars when I went to the gambling house with Xiaoxuan." Wu Xun said nonchalantly, and then asked Xu Zixiu, "Hey, where is your friend?"

Ning Bo: "..." The amount of information is too large, so he thought that the little prince who grew up under the glazed tiles that suffered in the market would not only visit brothels but also gambling houses?And bring the princess with you? !

Xu Zixiu blushed and quickly waved his hands: "I, I, I, I, we were tricked!"

"Backed by who?"

A slightly indifferent voice came from behind Xu Zixiu. When Xu Zixiu turned around, he saw Lu Xun, then turned to look at Wu Xun, and clapped his hands: "You two are really a couple."

Wu Xun scratched his chin, his face was a little hot, but he deliberately didn't clarify anything, a couple is good, don't care what Xu Zixiu understands as a couple, anyway, he and Xiaoyu are a couple.

Lu Xi didn't respond either. He said that they were brothers in front of Xu Zixiu at the tea shop. It was intentional. If Xu Zixiu finally passed the Jinshi exam, they would meet in another capacity. Knowing too much in advance would be harmful to everyone. no good.

Xu Zixiu felt that he had said something wrong, so he kept silent.Facing the three unsociable people, Ning Bo rubbed his brows: "Young master, young man, and Mr. Xu, you might as well sit in the flower hall to catch up on the past, and this old servant will make you some tea."

A group of people entered the flower hall, and Ning Bo brewed good incense for everyone: "You guys are drinking and chatting, the capital city is hot and dry this July, drink some tea to relieve the heat."

When Wu Xun heard the word "Xie Shu", he thought of the tea house again: "Brother Xu, where are your two friends?"

Xu Zixiu had a look of displeasure on his face, and said with a cock in his neck, "The two of them are not friends."

Wu Xun blinked his eyes, and it was true, as Xiao Ling said, that scholars have a lot of eyes. If you are a Jianghu person, if you are not a friend, let alone drinking tea at the same table, it would be reasonable if you didn't overturn your table.

Lu Xi also had doubts about this: "Since you are living in a ruined temple, why don't you go to Diabolo Villa?"

Another kind of anger rose on Xu Zixiu's face, and there was a trace of humiliation in the anger. He raised his head to look at Lu Yu and Wu Xun, and cupped his hands: "It's fate that Xu met the two of you several times. I extended a helping hand to my subordinates, gave invitations, and gave Xu a place to hide in the heavy rain. All kinds of kindness and kindness are in Xu's heart. If the two of you don't mind, Xu is willing to tell the truth."

"Tell me, if there is anything we can help, we can help." Wu Xun said with concern.

Xu Zixiu's heart was also hot. He was used to being self-reliant since he was a child. He had made up his mind to smash his teeth and swallow his blood, but when he first saw Lu Xun and Wu Xun, he couldn't help but want to talk about it. It is probably the fate of God.

"If you two don't bother me, Xu will start from the beginning." Xu Zixiu stopped being polite and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "It's true that Lin Feizhang and Ma Jiarui didn't know each other before, and we were going to Beijing to take the exam I met on the road. To tell you the truth, I lost my parents when I was young, and my mother brought me up. My mother’s natal family was relatively well-off in the local area, but because my uncle always wanted my mother to remarry, my mother was so strong that she didn’t want to be supported by her natal family. My father was an official in the court. After his death, the court gave me a pension and my mother’s embroidery skills to raise me up to now. My mother has always taught me to be diligent and studious, to be upright, not to be humiliated, and to rush for exams. The money was also made by my mother and the village.”

Mentioning that his mother Xu Zixiu’s eyes were a little red, but he quickly suppressed his emotions: “After meeting these two people, the three of us walked together. At first I saw that Brother Lin and Brother Ma were really talented. The two of them also expressed appreciation. But many things happened on the way, so I don't want to be with them." Xu Zixiu sighed, looking quite annoyed, "It's also my fault, if I refuse to be tougher , I am afraid it will not be reduced to this."

After listening to Xu Zixiu's narration, Wu Xun and Lu Xi realized that Lin Feizhang and Ma Jiarui were good friends. Both of them were from a wealthy family and spent a lot of money. Hearing other scholars mentioned it, he forced Xu Zixiu to go there. As a result, Baihualou was not a place to listen to the piano.

"After Baihualou, I broke off contact with them, but thinking that the money in my hand would not be able to survive the imperial examination, so I thought about selling the paintings and calligraphy I made to make some money.

money.I didn’t expect to meet the two of them again at the market. At that time, a customer was about to pay, but the two of them sang and said that the word was not well written. They drove the customer away and disturbed me. business. "

"It's too much." Wu Xun was playing with two walnuts at first, when he heard this, he crushed the walnuts with a "click", "These two people should be taught a lesson at that time!" After reacting, Only then did Wu Xun realize that all the walnut skins and kernels in his hand had been turned into powder, and he could no longer eat it. Wu Xun felt distressed, "It was a waste of our walnuts."

Xu Zixiu's back suddenly stiffened. He had opened that walnut just now, but it wasn't the kind of thin-skinned walnut. What's more, walnuts are easy to crush, and it's harder to turn walnuts into powder in one breath. This, this, this one Wu Shaoxia is really a real person without showing his face.

Xu Zixiu calmed down after taking a sip of tea. What mother said was good. He was not afraid of the shadow swaying. A chivalrous man like Wu Shaoxia would definitely not attack him. The walnut powder's hand took over, and carefully wiped off all the powder on his palm with a handkerchief.

Xu Zixiu: "..." Hiccup, I was quite hungry at first, why am I suddenly full?

"Go ahead." Wu Xun, whose hands were wiped clean, had a sweet smile on his lips, urging Xu Zixiu.

"Oh oh oh, let me continue." Xu Zixiu rubbed his nose, forced himself not to see anything, and continued, "Those two people think that others think the three of us are friends, and I lost them by selling them on the street. Naturally, I couldn’t be more angry, and I said, am I going to starve to death on the street in order not to lose face for you? Then they said, I can go to a pawnshop to pawn things.”

"A pawnshop?" Lu Xi narrowed his eyes, and knocked his fan on his palm repeatedly, "What's the name of the pawnshop?"

"I really don't remember this. It was already very late that day, so I didn't see the sign clearly." Xu Zixiu scratched his head, "I didn't want to go because I didn't have anything valuable on me, the only thing that might be worth something. It was my father's relic, and I couldn't pawn it even if I starved to death. But they were very stubborn, and they insisted that the pawnshop accept everything, so I went with them. That pawnshop is indeed very strange, accepting all kinds of rags .”

"Everything?"

"Yes." Xu Zixiu thought back, but still found it incredible, "It's like giving money. Lin Feizhang knew that my father had left me a jade pendant, and then urged me to take it out. I refused, but the shopkeeper asked if I could. I can’t give him a glance, and he will give me money just by looking at it.”

"Did you show him?"

"Yeah." Xu Zixiu was still very annoyed when he thought about it, "It was an obvious robbery. Lin Feizhang snatched my jade pendant, but fortunately the shopkeeper kept his word, and he returned it to me after watching the time of a stick of incense, and also gave it to me. I paid for it.” Xu Zixiu felt more and more strange as he thought about it, “The shopkeeper said to open his eyes, but what’s so worth seeing about a jade pendant?”

"Are you sure he didn't drop the bag?" Wu Xun felt that Xu Zixiu had been duped.

"Well, definitely not, I've been staring at it." Xu Zixiu was very sure, "My eyesight follows my mother, and my mother can embroider a hundred birds and phoenixes on a palm-sized silk with the help of candlelight, so that day in the gambling house I Saw that big guy do something, because he secretly changed the dice."

Wu Xun suddenly realized, no wonder the scholars in the gambling shop were so sure that the big man was cheating.

"What happened later? Why did you go to the gambling house?" Lu Huan asked suddenly, he vaguely felt that this Xu Zixiu had stepped into someone else's trap, and every step of him seemed to be calculated by someone.

"Because Lin Feizhang and Ma Jiarui insisted that if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to get so much money. The shopkeeper of the pawn shop persuaded the fight, saying that it is better to go to Qianjin Gambling Shop to make a fortune. I don't want to, I said that the money can be divided equally, but I am I don’t know how to gamble. Later, the money was divided into three parts. Although the money was divided, the two of them still went to the gambling house and dragged me there. Crazy."

If that's the case... Lu Xi laughed, the two scholars had figured out everything about Xu Zixiu, from his jade pendant to his eyesight, and even his character that was not good at refusing.

"I went with them, because Ma Jiarui is good at arithmetic and he can calculate the winning rate. At first, he only won but not lost. Later, when the big man provoked us, Ma Jiarui couldn't stand the excitement and agreed, but the big man said Our stake was too small, so he lent us double the stake. At first he

The two won a few more rounds, and by the third round, the big guy started cheating. I could see it, but we couldn't beat each other, and we couldn't even run. Xu Zixiu sighed heavily, and blamed himself again, "It's because I'm not firm enough, otherwise it wouldn't be here. "

"After you lost the money, did Lin Feizhang and Ma Jiarui propose to exchange the jade pendant for silver taels? Or did you just give it to the other party?"

Xu Zixiu looked at Lu Xi who was speaking in surprise, "How do you know?"

Lu Xi didn't answer this question, but stretched out his hand: "Show me your jade pendant."

Maybe Lu Xi didn't look like someone who would covet his jade pendant at all, Xu Zixiu didn't hesitate, hooked the jade pendant from his collar, took it off and handed it to Lu Xi, Lu Xi looked at the front and back of the jade pendant, and frowned : "There are pens and inks over there, do you mind keeping a pair of ink treasures?"

Xu Zixiu didn't hesitate. Although he didn't know why Lu Xi made such a request, the few questions Lu Xi asked just now made him think that it might not be a coincidence that his unlucky luck might be hidden in the jade pendant his father left him. I don't know what the secret is.

He walked to the stone table that Wu Xun had brought into the flower hall, moistened his pen and ink, and left a word "Xiu" under the paper.

Lu Xi got up and walked to the stone table, stared at his writing for a while, then sighed, "Your father taught you your writing." It was not a question but an affirmative tone.

"Do you know my father?" But then Xu Zixiu felt that he was a little stupid for asking this question. Lu Xi didn't look much older than him. When his father was still alive, Lu Xi should have been a child.

——"Your Highness, I believe that self-cultivation is the foundation of everything, and self-cultivation is the foundation of everything. If you are not straight, you will behave improperly... If you have a son, I will name him Xiu."

Lu Xi was in a complicated mood. He never thought that the person he and Xun'er reached out to rescue in the gambling house turned out to be the son of the mentor who enlightened him at the beginning.

The quality of this jade pendant itself may not be worth much, but this jade pendant is a gift from the emperor himself to avoid death.It's not for anything else, it's just because Lu Xie was registered as the prince when he was one year old, the emperor gave the jade pendant to hope that the master would not care about his status as the crown prince when teaching Lu Xie.
